Tabitha chooses turtles and gets the opportunity to assist with a turtle recovery project and to learn why so many species of turtles are at risk. Jack reluctantly accepts a snake assignment that takes him to a major highway development and bridge in Windsor, Ontario. Not seeing any wetlands, he thinks he’s in the wrong place. A species expert assures him that foxsnakes are adaptable, even to heavily modified environments, as long as they can move safely between different parts of their habitat. The expert shows Jack a major wildlife passage under the 6-lane parkway that the developers were required to include in the building of the highway.

Sharing Our Habitat includes a video series and lessons for grades 4 to 11, on species at risk (SAR) in southern Ontario. Each episode features our young investigators learning about a particular ecosystem and the species that rely on it. They formulate key questions, then interview species experts, Aboriginal elders, landowners, and volunteers, on why species are at risk, and why people should care and what they can do. Each episode also features the hosts assisting with a recovery project. Lesson plans and Our Incredible World website available under Additional Info tag.
